I must admit, I always admired Ian Wright for making it to the top level after starting so late. And thought he was a brilliant goal poacher. But also considered him a bit of a cock. So this was a real eye-opener to see what he went through to even grow up, let alone become a player. I think I can forgive him the odd bit of over-exuberance now. A brilliant interview if you've not seen it http://www.thefootballramble.com/latest/entry/ian-wright-documentary. And, as ever, IMO The Ramble well worth a listen to and a worthy entrant to the DWHoF.

He played 90 minutes earlier this week so he should be capable of of least ten/fifteen minutes at the end. And surely if Liverpool are able to utterly annihilate Norwich, we can do the same (of course now that I've said it, we'll labour to a 1-1 draw or whatever)

I was wondering if you'd have noticed that. Wasting his time. Hoolahan has crossed the halfway line 3 or 4 times. He's no chance for a recall.

Surely one of the Norwich defenders has an Irish granny.

Hmmmm lot of inbreeding there reduces the chances.

Still poor from Arsenal who look like they turned up against their will today rather than to win a game. 9th in the league at the moment and 10 points behind Chelsea. They don't really look like they care either.

To be honest neither team showed great equality in the final third.Holt had some good chances and Girroud had a few 50/50 moments,but overall there was a dearth of quality on the pitch. Gervinho was entertaining though

I didn't realise 1-1 would be an optimistic prediction (particularly depressing on a day where Utd, City and Chelsea all managed to win after going behind). We were comically bad today, the only players who came out of that looking good were Jenkinson and Arteta.

I'm now going to angrily eat some lasagne in honour of Vito Mannone.
